I’m only in my 40’s, I don’t require glasses (yet) and I have to actively squint to read your site on mobile. Safari, iPhone.
I’m pretty sure you’re under the permitted contrast levels under WCAG.
- ctrl-shift-. to show hidden files on macOS - pull down to see search box (iOS 18) - swipe from top right corner for flashlight button - swipe up from lower middle for home screen
Etc, etc
I have a gesture for whoever decided "find in page" should go under share.
You can also just type your search term into the normal address bar and there's an item at the bottom of the list for "on this page - find <search>". I'd never even seen the find-in-page button under share.
Long pressing is much more pleasant.
I wish Apple would give us a hint rather than requiring us to chance upon this recommendation on HN.
The problem is Apple’s hints keep popping up even after you say no thanks or it’s fine.
Use this command in the developer tools console to change the color.
.default { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color:#828282; }
.admin { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:8.5pt; color:#000000; }
.title { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color:#828282; overflow:hidden; }
.subtext { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; color:#828282; }
.yclinks { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; color:#828282; }
.pagetop { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color:#222222; line-height:12px; }
.comhead { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 8pt; color:#828282; }
.comment { font-family:Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; }For desktop browsers, I also have a bookmarklet on the bookmarks bar with the following Javascript:
javascript: document.querySelectorAll('p, td, tr, ul, ol').forEach(elem => {elem.style.color = '#000'})
{elem.style.color = '#000 !important'}Is this maybe a pixel density of iphone issue?
I wouldn't mind a darker and higher weight font though.
One day try throwing a pair on you'll be surprised. The small thin font is causing this not the text contrast. This and low light scenarios are the first things to go.
Whatever causes it, I do wear glasses (and on a recent prescription too) and the text is still very hard to read.
As for mentioning WCAG - so what if it doesn’t adhere to those guidelines? It’s his personal website, he can do what he wants with it. Telling him you found it difficult to read properly is one thing but referencing WCAG as if this guy is bound somehow to modify his own aesthetic preference for generic accessibility reasons is laughable. Part of what continues to make the web good is differing personal tastes and unique website designs - it is stifling and monotonous to see the same looking shit on every site and it isn’t like there aren’t tools (like reader mode) for people who dislike another’s personal taste.
Firefox users: press F9 or C-A-R
What is it supposed to do?
There is no mention of F9 on this support page either:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/keyboard-shortcuts-perf...
Am I missing something?
F9 on Windows
Ctrl + Alt + R on Linux
Command + Option + R on macOS
(It uses JS to only show the one for your platform but with view source you can see it mentions all three of these different OSes.)
So I guess the first guy is a Windows user and you other two use Linux.
There is a dropdown at the top-right to select the platform - no need to view source.
When trying to copy files from a OneDrive folder, the operation fails if the file must be sync'd first.
I, for one, do not think it is fair to blame Backblaze for the shortcomings of another application who breaks basic funtionality like copying files.
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/onedriveforb...
If they start excluding random content (eg: .git) without effective notice, maybe they AREN'T backing up everything you think they are.
My naive idea: Download 100 TB every 3 month to a 2nd device, create a list of files restored, validate checksums with the original machine, make a list of files differing and missing, check which ones are supposed to be missing? That sounds like a full time job.
Pinning this squarely on user error. Backblaze could clearly have done better, but it's such a well known failure mode that it's not much far off refusing to test restores of a bunch of tapes left in the sun for a decade.
It isn't user error if it was working perfectly fine until the provider made a silent change.
Unless the user error you are referring to is not managing their own backups, like I do. Though this isn't free from trouble, I once had silent failures backing up a small section of my stuff for a while because of an ownership/perms snafu and my script not sending the reports to stderr to anywhere I'd generally see them. Luckily an automated test (every now & then it scans for differences in the whole backup and current data) because it could see the source and noticed a copy wasn't in the latest snapshot on the far-away copy. Reliable backups is a harder problem then most imagine.
Also consider e.g. ~/.cache/thumbnails. It's easy to understand as a cache, but if the thumbnails were of photos on an SD card that gets lost or immediately dies, is it still a cache? It might be the only copy of some once-in-a-lifetime event or holiday where the card didn't make it back with you. Something like this actually happened to me, but in that case, the "cache" was a tarball of an old photo gallery generated from the originals that ought to have been deleted.
It's just really hard to know upfront whether something is actually important or not. Same for the Downloads folder. Vendor goes bankrupt, removes old software versions, etc. The only safe thing you can really do is hold your nose and save the whole lot.
